(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)Starting with a group of lightning researchers, planetarium staff, and visualization specialists, an academically diverse group was formed through a grant from the National Science Foundation to develop a planetarium ...
-
(2009-05-15)In this study, it is hypothesized that the mesoscale environment can indirectly control the cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning polarity of severe storms by directly affecting their structural, dynamical, and microphysical ...
-
(2018-10-26)The objective of this study is to determine the relationship between lightning and six large-scale environmental variables: convective available potential energy (CAPE), normalized CAPE (nCAPE), column saturation fraction ...
-
(2009-05-15)Two mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) passed over the Houston Lightning Detection and Ranging (LDAR) network on 31 October 2005 and 21 April 2006. As the MCSs traverse the LDAR network, the systems slowly mature with a ...
-
(2022-03-28)Lightning can have many societal and environmental impacts, and the ability of a global climate model (GCM) to correctly parameterize lightning has become of utmost importance as lightning has recently been named an essential ...
-
(2023-02-08)Although Hurricanes Harvey (2017) and Nicholas (2021) both rapidly intensified before making landfall in the populous and highly convective region of southeast Texas, the tropical systems exhibited different lightning-pr ...
-
(2018-05-22)Understanding the behavior of lightning and modeling its physical effects is of great importance with regard to structures subjected to lightning strikes. In this study, a two-dimensional physics-based model that was ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)An increase in the amount of lightning and rainfall over the Houston area, compared to the surrounding rural areas, has been well documented in previous studies. The placement of a Shared Mobile Atmospheric Research and ...
-
(2018-04-27)Protection misoperation is responsible for a large portion of all cascading failures. These cascading failures can lead to blackouts that have tremendous social impacts. This dissertation proposes a new method that uses ...
-
(2011-08-08)The NASA Kennedy Space Center (KSC) is situated along the east coast of central Florida, where a high frequency of lightning occurs annually. Although cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning forecasting using radar echoes has been ...
-
(Texas Agricultural Extension Service, 1968)
-
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)Total lightning mapping, along with radar and NLDN cloud-to-ground lightning data, can be used to diagnose the severity of a storm. Analysis of the 13 October 2001 supercell event (Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas), some supercells ...
-
(2009-05-15)Five severe convective cells over North Texas from three separate dates were examined to determine what three dimensional, or “total” lightning data can add to the understanding of a convective cell’s intensity, propagation, ...
-
(2023-04-04)Lightning behavior within Tropical Cyclones (TCs) has been studied previously; however, there are notable gaps and contradictions in how changes in lightning activity specifically relates to intensification, weakening, and ...
-
(2009-05-15)Lightning detection over Houston, Texas is possible with the Lightning Detection and Ranging (LDAR-II) network and the National Lightning Detection Network (NLDN). A comparison of the two datasets in conjunction with 37 ...
